The Grand Unification Theory used to be called the Unified Field Theory. It is a search for a theoretical/mathematical framework that can account for and unite all the basic forces, and therefore be considered a Theory of Everything. Currently there are 2 important branches of physics which seem to contradict each other. General Relativity which explains the behaviour of big systems and Quantum Mechanics which explains the behaviour of small systems (atomic/sub-atomic.) If you apply the wrong theory for the size of system then predictions from the theory don't match experimental results. (i.e. The theory is wrong!) Many physisists think there is a theory that can adequately explain both of these systems but they haven't found it yet. Einstein spent his last years attempting to find it. He did not. M theory, a development of string theory is currently considered by many to be the best prospect for a Grand Unification Theory.

What were the five separate states that existed in Italy before unification?

Before unification in the 19th century, Italy was divided into five major states: the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Papal States, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the Duchy of Modena and Reggio. Each of these regions had its own government and political structure. The unification process, known as the Risorgimento, ultimately led to the consolidation of these states into the Kingdom of Italy in 1861.
